You can all thank @brokenthebarrier for this brief bit of Hyperfixation.
So the 666 Darkmore house in the 1985 ReAnimator is an actual place in Los Angeles. The interior shots and exterior are of the same building. Its still there (and not for sale LOL. Also spec price for 1,902ft² is speculated to be about 1.6 mil).
Since the interior shots of the movie are filmed on site, Fool was attempting to get an idea for a floorplan/layout of the film because it feels very....odd.
Starting with Dans room I was led to beliece it was the first room to the far right of the house with a picture window- but the window lighting is coming from the side wall next to the wall with the closet. As well there is an odd outcropping in his room I later came to realize was the back of a fireplace.
Above- fireplace in far right. Door to Dan's room immediately to left.
The positioning of the front door means the fireplace is in the foyer area and immediately leads to Dan's room. Not super structurally weird but certainly weird to have your bedroom that close to the front door IMO. So it is his bedroom door, a fireplace and then the portrait privacy window and front door
Total bachelor move to have a weird piece of fabric covering the door window....
Following the wall of the front door leads quickly to a where the couch sits under. I understand this is a miniscule space so it makes sense to have the entry way act as a living room as well.
So you follow the wall along to this....weird...dining room area? Shitpile? Not sure what it is. We can construe from the film that Dan has fairly recently moved into the home ao I assume the boxes are....stuff
Stuff.
As well, there is another room next to Dan's right before a hallway that is, as far as we know, is another spare room.
Not so much Stuff.
Then we get a closed off hallway towards the back of the home where as far as we are shown holds Herbert's eventual room and the door down to the basement (which is immediately across from Herbert's room). This leaves two doors across one another we are not shown- which I can assume to be the kitchen and a bathroom at LEAST. The actual house on Canyon is listed as having 4 bedrooms and 2 baths so I am not sure if some of those are add ons or if there is an on-suite bathroom in one of the rooms. Im also unsure if the Cayon house ACTUALLY has a basement- as those tend to be a bit, uh, hazardous when building a house on a goddamned fault line.
If you want to break California building codes, sure (Herbert looking into the 'kitchen')
Heading down the hall, as mentioned, we never see the two rooms first encountered in the hallway, I can only assume the room on the left is the kitchen simply by the large amount of light coming in from the assumed window in there that faces out into the opposite street. This place may have a basement but I doubt someone is setting up the bathroom in an area so exposed to the street unless you're a freak. As well, Dan inspects that room rather than the opposite room at the start of the Rufus Reanimated scene.
Kitchen. Opposite Bathroom?
There are then 3 doors left- two opposite of each other and one parallell to the hallway. For the sake of the film I would argue this is the door leading to the back yard. Its backlit as to insinuate such, but I realize it could be another bedroom? Not important to the film discussion.
Back of the house are the three doors- the door to Herbert's Room is next to the speculated bathroom
Dead Cat Do Not Open
Herbert's room is where I get tripped up. Its only show in the first Rufus discovery and a deleted scene. It appears smaller than Dan's room, with the bed under a window and some weird wall outcropping/closet area next to the bed.
The door butts up against a random wall that is right at the back door- maybe for a backporch area?
Bed under window. No bedframe. Like a goddamn animal
Closer shot of the wall by the bed
This leaves the last door, which we see in a scene during the Rufus Revival as Dan crashes through and falls down the stairs is to the basement.
No photo, sorry, scene was too dark for a screen grab
So many closets
ANYWAY all of this to say that despite my efforts to find floorplan/vlueprints for 2238 Canyon Drive, I had to make due being a fucking weirdo. Below is my speculated floorplan for '666 Darkmore' (obiously not to scale)

Honestly kind of abandoning this acct im favor of one I have a few followers is way less stressful. Im not blmbarded with 'IF YOU ARENT TALKING ABOUT THIS YOU ARE GARBAGE YOU SHOULDNT FEEL HAPPY BECAUSE BAD THINGS ARE HAPPENING'.
Way better. Y'all want me you can find me on the new blog
well personally i like it when there’s incest and necrophilia and murder and cannibalism and abuse and torture and gore and mutilation and body horror and sexual depravity and death.
The Lilith were wild demons of the ancient desert said to feast upon infant flesh. They would make their homes in the desolate ruins of human settlements abandoned in times of war or famine.
two vampires feeding from the same human on either side of their neck while locking eyes lustfully has me nodding my head like yup that’s the good shit right there
